misfish Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 I have looked through the regulations about having a shotgun and bow at the sametime . Can anyone clear this for me? Come next week it will be turkey time(would sooner knock the head off the bird, then shot through the body with an arrow,dont want to waste good meat), it will only be bow for deer.To me, Im covering both senerios.

steelee Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Ive questioned this before a long time ago my reason was for bow hunt deer, and shotgun for coyote if they were out of bow range. you can have both with you as long as one is encased, if you get firm confirmation would love to hear it, since my info never came from the mnr so i may even be wrong.

This is my understanding as well. Otherwise you have two firearms out at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishfield Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 A crossbow is not a fire arm.......YET. Not to the gun Registry and PAL... but it is to a CO during hunting season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skud Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 I think as long as the shotgun shells are only #2 shot or smaller you should be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilli Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 A crossbow is not a fire arm.......YET. I,ll give a call to Rick. No but it is a tool used to hunt both turkey and deer. If you find out that your allowed to hunt turkey during deer shotgun season make sure you still wear the hunter orange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassjnkie Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 (edited) Don't see why not. just don't have slugs or buck shot on you. Orange would be a must. Edited October 10, 2010 by DanielM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chessy Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 the only way to tell is call the enforcement supervisor in the area you will be hunting and ask him.... each area interprates the laws differnentyl ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBCregal Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Not to the gun Registry and PAL... but it is to a CO during hunting season! from pg 21 in the hunting regs. Firearms Firearms include rifles, shotguns, air or pellet guns, bows and crossbows. You may use semi-automatic or repeating firearms for hunting in Ontario, but not handguns or fully automatic firearms. Air and pellet pistols with a muzzle velocity less than 152 metres (500 feet) per second may be used for hunting in Ontario (see restrictions on page 22).
